You'll see me at the show
Judging those I don't know
See the next new thing
They are product to me
And I want it, to make my profit
I'll do what it takes
To get you your big break
That's not really the truth
But I'll tell it to you
So you'll sign on the dotted line
Don't make this into something it isn't
We're not friends - it's business
If you write something hot
We can buy you a spot
On the radio air
Try to sell yourself there
To get played, they have to be paid
TV and the news
They'll be screaming for you
And the pressure will stick
'Til you write your next hit
And so it will go, 'til that's all you know
Don't make this into something it isn't
We're not friends - it's business
You can be buzzworthy
You can be the next big thing
You can be buzzworthy
You can be anything
And I don't know what you went through
But I know what would be good for you
We'll send your song straight up the charts
So we can profit from your art
If your song doesn't get in
We'll cut it down and make a radio edit
Flood the airwaves
Flood the market
And then we'll just be getting started
'Til your face will be on everything you read
Books, papers, and magazines
Until you're sick of everything
You can be the next big thing
